one thing which would really be great is an OSM client for Kindle/ebook readers with an offline data store. With an optimised interface and map styling it could come in handy in many cases (hiking, bike tours - anything where weight, power and portability are a concern).
Obviously an editor like spatialdev are developing would need more advanced features thus they are targeting android.
